1991 Desert Storm: These are still fairly easy to find and a good look at some of the players and firepower used during Operation Desert Storm. George Bush was front and center as Command in Chief during the war. It's easy for folks to look back on the war differently from what we thought when it started, including myself. Not getting political here but I thought Bush handled it well.
A nice photo of a Navy F-18. These were heavily used during the war by the US and our allies. It's a cool looking plane and pretty powerful.
The aircraft carriers carried F-18s and other aircraft for the Navy. Amazing how those things really are floating cities. I don't think any veteran misses wearing chem gear.
I'm not an expert on artillery but that one looks pretty intimidating. Hueys were heavily used by the military as a whole though I don't remember specifically seeing it in the press during the war.
The backs had interesting information. Even the member coalition info was interesting even though you can find it pretty easy. I'd just never look for it though. Explanations like these on the Patriot Missile Battery are simple but a good synopsis of what they'll do.
The F-117 was state of the art at the time but has already been retired (2008). Humvees always look cool but they have like zero suspension and no cushion in the seat. I feel for the guys and gals who had to ride in these consistently. Anyone who has been to the middle east has seen some great sunsets. Happy Veteran's Day to everyone has served in the military.
